Abstract

Internet topology generators play an essential role in computer network research. This paper presents a new Internet autonomous system level topology generator. Synthetic topologies generated by the proposed generator are compared to real Internet topologies and to synthetic topologies generated by a well-known topology generator. The results show that, for all the considered metrics, the proposed generator is able to produce more realistic topologies. This work aims to contribute to the generation of more realistic synthetic topologies.
